While I have never been there, your eloquent words took me there!<BR/><BR/>I think that the "no camera" policy allowed you to really soak up the entire performance. It must have been wonderful to just sit back, relax and not have to worry about getting any pictures. With your attention totally focused on what you were seeing and hearing, you have been able to, once again take us to places that some of us have never been before.<BR/><BR/>I am so glad you enjoyed your trip and I am looking forward to "Recap #2" on the next visit to New York!<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for sharing the details of Grease with us.KarinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723515397274278683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312454178941880640.post-42787800462635174192008-06-28T09:59:00.000-07:002008-06-28T09:59:00.000-07:00Mandy fabulous recap, as usual!

It would have been a GREAT birthday present. :P <BR/><BR/>I do have to say in reference to your comment on Rizzo being sensitive on the inside, I always thought that she was. She didn't want people to know she was anything other than a "tough" chick. <BR/><BR/>Reading your recap, I felt that I was there too. I so want to see Taylor perform as "Teen Angel".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312454178941880640.post-75972538630360806682008-06-23T10:03:00.000-07:002008-06-23T10:03:00.000-07:00What an amazing recap.

Thank goodness you are able to recall wonderful details to share such an accurate account for those of us who have seen the show, and for those who will not be able to see it.<BR/><BR/>My daughter and her roommate and I were in the audience Friday night. Laura Osnes was on vacation, but the young lady playing "Sandy" did a wonderful job that night. The three of us LOVED this show. RQ - I agree with you wholeheartedly. The casting was great, and all characters were excellent singers and actors. The show is humorous, fast paced, with darling scenery/props/costumes.<BR/><BR/>And let me tell ya !! Taylor Hicks held his own up there. I would have never believed that this was his acting debut, much less Broadway debut. He delivered a witty, classy, subtlety sensous performance. <BR/><BR/>By 4PM Saturday, we had tickets for the Sunday afternoon show. I could not resist. My daughter and I agreed that we enjoyed it just a much the second time around. A bonus - Laura was back on Sunday and was FABULOUS !!! Taylor was wonderful and such a joy to watch !! <BR/><BR/>I am in the camp that accepting the part of Teen Angel is something he could not pass up !!<BR/> Audience reaction confirms !!!!havingfunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979385780573867488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312454178941880640.post-15380664988402235052008-06-23T08:41:00.000-07:002008-06-23T08:41:00.000-07:00great review Rags...i wouldlove to go to see this....great review Rags...i wouldlove to go to see this...you encouraged me even more.....thank youVIV SAWYERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421815510619202269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312454178941880640.post-48219997660632698182008-06-23T06:58:00.000-07:002008-06-23T06:58:00.000-07:00As always you've given your readers an enjoyable r...As always you've given your readers an enjoyable review and painted a vivid description of what you experienced at the performance of Grease.<BR/><BR/>I'm happy Gypsee was able to go with you and you both were able to see for yourselves what earlier attendees have been talking about.<BR/><BR/>My turn on Sunday!!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recap.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844412210833774455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312454178941880640.post-38412725296591685212008-06-23T06:39:00.000-07:002008-06-23T06:39:00.000-07:00Awesome review!!!
